I believe I am correct in stating that he was an Old Blue.

I stumbled across this http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... files.html whilst searching for some information on another newsreader, Kenneth Kendall, who sadly passed away today.

Yes, he is listed on the CHA site. Mid B 1912-1917. From 1923 he was a professional singer and I suspect may have cut some vinyl
